Hello and Happy Tuesday to the regulars and the 102 new subscribers 👋

As part of our mission to educate as many people as possible about AI, we're closing out our series on building AI Agents but looking at the feature "human in the loop"...plus more.
​
Let's jump in...

🔎 Preview: In today's issue

• 🤔 How Zapier does Human in the Loop (Episode 6 of AI Agents)
• 📺 Must watch video on Claude Skills. Very Entertaining
• 🚀 Vibe code with connectors...life made easier

🤓 Explain Like I'm 5
​

This one’s the finale in our AI Agent series, and it’s about keeping you in the mix.

Your agent’s smart, but it’s not you. “Human in the loop” means a person stays involved to guide, check, or approve the agent’s work. It’s how you blend AI speed with human judgment, and now it’s a built-in feature inside the tools.

🧰 What it looks like

In this example, we're using Zapier as the tool to demostrate it in use. Most if not all agentic workflow builders will have a 'Human in the loop' feature (with very similar feature parity). Just watch out for differences in the user experience.

You’ll see clear options to approve, decline, or edit the agent’s output before anything goes live.

You can even mimic this in your own workflows, for example by having the agent create Gmail drafts instead of sending emails straight away.

👩‍💻 Think of it like an intern again:

You wouldn’t let a new hire send messages on day one. You review, give notes, and approve. Over time, they learn your tone and standards, and you step back a little more.

🧩 Why it matters

• Quality control: Catch errors before they go public.
• Learning loop: Your feedback helps the agent improve.
• Trust: You stay confident as automation grows,

⚙️ How to stay in the loop

• Start with approval mode: the agent drafts, you confirm.
• Move to review mode: it acts, but flags key steps for you.
• Add autonomy tiers: some actions need a check, others don’t.

💡 Example

In this example (which we actually use), before the proposal is sent out to a client, we get approval via Slack.

Human in the loop closes the loop, a final step that keeps AI practical, safe, and collaborative.

If you want to start building with agents now we've partnered with 100School's Agent Bootcamp. All Create With members get 20% off all bootcamps. It start's next week!

We're frantically editing the videos so we can get them on Youtube for you

📺 Stop giving your AI Agents TASKS... here's what to do instead

​

Paul Wiseall, leader of TEDx Bristol, gives a highly entertaining look at the current state of AI Agents and his favourite use-cases

🍕 Key takeaways 

• Roles over tasks: Giving agents persistent roles builds context and autonomy; task lists alone lead to shallow, brittle behaviour. ​⁠
• Structured context matters: Big context windows help, but the real unlock is how information is organised and retrieved during work. ​⁠
• Ingestion with intent: Pull only the data that serves decisions; indiscriminate ingestion drives cost and noise. ​⁠
• Use Claude Skills as “Lego bricks”: Lightweight skills encapsulate capability and context, called only when relevant—dramatically reducing tokens versus MCP. ​⁠
• Human-in-the-loop: Even with crews of specialised agents, keep humans guiding, correcting, and rolling back when systems drift. ​⁠

🔊 On your radar

Keep your finger on the pulse of what we think is hot in the space right now 🔥

⭐ Bubble added a new feature to keep API keys out of your code​

👉 Why it matters: Bubble added a secrets scanner in the security dashboard. It checks your app for exposed keys and sensitive tokens, then flags risks before they bite. If you’re building with plugins, webhooks, or third‑party APIs, run a scan, rotate any keys it finds, and move them into environment variables or Bubble’s secrets manager. It’s a simple win for safer, more professional apps. Kudos to CreateWith friend George Collier for being on top of this as always

⭐️ Replit adds a Zendesk connector for ticket automation​

👉 Why it matters: "Vibe coding" apps that can read and write Zendesk tickets is a signal that that more will come. This gives so much power back to the end users, not the developers. We like how Replit are shipping. Practical uses include syncing support tickets to Linear, flagging at‑risk customers with Stripe data, and nudging Slack when high‑priority tickets sit unassigned.

⭐ Don't forget Claude “Projects” for content and strategy workflows​

👉 Why it matters: Don't necessarily get caught up in the hype of Skillls and MCPs. Claude’s Projects let you store your files, briefs, and brand context in one place, then reuse them across tasks without re-explaining. The boring marketer uses projects to draft content, plan SEO, define conversion paths, and hand off structured instructions to Claude Code for implementation. Practical tip: put your docs in a GitHub repo and sync it to a Project for cleaner versioning and better retrieval

🐒 AI in the wild

Fun, interesting, or innovative ways real people use AI in their daily lives and work.

Now this story is epic!

Did you know you can also use it to run an entire Pinterest strategy on autopilot?

Ricardo Ghekiere, Co-Founder at Betterpic.io and BetterStudio.io, built a single Zapier workflow that uses AI to post headshots to Pinterest

Completely hands-free.

The result? Over 8 million impressions and 11,000 clicks to their site, all from an automated process that runs quietly in the background. Pinterest happens to be one of the few platforms that still allows large-scale automation — and Ricardo’s found the sweet spot.

His first traction:

“My biggest win was when my partner actually liked her first headshot...that was a year in. Before that, it was the moment people started praising how easy our new upload process was. Making something seamless enough that real people want to use it. That’s when it felt real.”

We're in the process of writing up this story in more detail, but we felt we had to share it!
